How To Easily Use Canon Lenses with Sony Cameras

Canon makes great lenses and Sony makes great cameras…so is it possible to merge the two? Yes! And it’s super simple too.
This video takes a look at the Sigma MC-11 EF to E mount adapter, which even though it’s designed specifically for Sigma lenses, works great on all kinds of non-Sigma EF mount lenses.
This is an awesome option because it makes the prospect of switching camera systems a little less intimidating and it also opens up the world of EF lenses, which not only has a lot to offer but is also becoming more and more affordable as Canon transitions to the RF mirrorless mount (seriously, check out some used prices on EF lenses and you can find a lot of great stuff).

Old vid, but some info. There's there's an adapter, that works with everything. It's the 7Artisan EF-SE AF adapter. around $95 I have a few Canon EF/EFS lenses. But I mainly use the 55-250mm IS STM lens. It works perfectly on my Sony A600. That includes, CAF, with pic and vid. All face recognition modes work. Also the lens's IS works perfect in pic mode, but it doesn't work with video. That wouldn't be a problem with a camera with IBS. It also has a button, to switch from Contrast Detect AF, to Phase Detect AF, depending on camera. Although the A600 has both CD and PD, the adapter will only work with CD. There are adapters for other camera makers

Most of my lenses are now native Sony lenses now, but back in the day, I used the MC-11 with almost any EF lens and it worked fine with the exception of eye AF. Plus, the video was never great, but the still pictures were awesome. In fact, I used to do a lot of event photography using the MC-11 on my Sony a7riii with the 24-105 L, and 70-200 L lenses and the pictures came out great. In fact the Tamron 28-75 EF lens produced some wonderful images attached to the MC-11 adapter. I called Sigma last year and the person I spoke to said they were no longer updating MC-11 adapters. Also of interest, I found that the canon ef 50mm 1.8 had a sharper image and less AF problems than the native Sony FE 50mm f/1.8. And I loved using the Canon 40mm 2.8 on the MC-11 adapter (super sharp images). One of the most beautiful combinations was when I used the Canon 135 f/2 lens on the Sony a7riii. Such beautiful portrait images! I still do use a Canon Macro lens on my Sony, but other than that, I use native lenses now with the exception of some older vintage lenses. Another great portrait lens that a lot of folks overlook is the Canon 100 f/2 lens. I've really gotten some wonderful portraits on that lens in the past.

Hey Tom! Just wanted to add that you can use FD to E (most manufacturers call them FD to NEX) adapters instead of stacking adapters so you get a more stable connection between camera and lens 😊 avid "vintage lens on mirrorless camera" user here and the 2 pros of adapting are image character (many modern lenses and sensors are made to be optically perfect so these "flawed" lenses bring some life into the images) and fun to use manual focusing (these lenses are made to manual focus so they feel good and have long focus throwes which help a lot in filmmaking imo) Hope this helps and I thoroughly enjoyed this video! 😊

@walter_fernandez Жыл бұрын

ooh! also you don't have to deal with an extra bit of the adapter's glass between the lens and the sensor which can cause all sorts of issues. I promise you the image rendered from it is genuinely beautiful if you have a simple "spacer adapter"

I am however gonna be holding on to the hope that you'd make a video on adapting vintage glass in the future 😂 fyi some FD glass have similar optics to classic K35 cinema glass which is why FD glass has become pretty popular with filmmakers these days. anyways, looking forward to the next video!

I love to use the adapters from one brand to be put on another or old lenses to the new mount. But I got an error using the EF to R adapter stating Error 70. I was using the EF-S 10-18mm IS STM lens on the Canon EOS R10 and thought it overheated. No, after researching on the internet with this problem the adapter is at fault. So I experiment on many things, for an example overclocking a computer for better performance, and I was recording in Aperture Priority in the Stills mode not the Movie mode. But after 30 minutes it shut off the recording and gave me that error message. Learning something new everyday and am enjoying it. Stay Safe and Keep Smiling! Cheers!

You can use EF-S lenses with the emount but you just need to mod the MC-11 but removing a few screws. It exposes the inside of the MC-11 but it works flawlessly on a FF camera in crop mode. I love my canon 35mm macro on my a7iii. It's a sharp underrated lens.

@tombuck Жыл бұрын

I've definitely started to like Sony lenses more the more I use them. They don't have the "beefy" feel of many Canons, so it took a while to learn that they're still plenty durable. And the image quality is top notch!

@paulsalonikas3625 Жыл бұрын

That's great! From what i have seen so far adapting the canon lenses on my A7iii body with the mc-11, is that, as you reel the aperture dial you costantly see the maximun aperture of the lens, all the time, the f4 for the 24-105. Another thing is, when you magnification to manual focus lets say, and half press the sutter button, to stabilize the frame, the magnification goes away. None of these two things happens with any sigma lens on mc-11. Sigma lenses auto focus better than the canon lenses too. In exif data also i see the focal length of the lens, but not which lens is for canons. But not for the sigmas.

@johnblackstock4092 6 ай бұрын

The one for me is the 7artisan adapter is the best one I have tried on my Sony 7 IV. It also focuses some Canon EF/EF-S Sigma and Tamron Lenses in Movie mode. On top of that, it's cheaper. You don't need to modify your EF-S Lenses. Though with some EF-S Lenses you need to set your camera to crop mode.

@gr3if Жыл бұрын

Crop is an apsc thing?

@Eikenhorst Жыл бұрын

@@gr3if Well, with a full frame lens, you cast an image circle big enough to cover a full frame sensor. But the APSC sensor is smaller, so most of the light falls outside of the sensor area and is lost. This gives a crop, since with a smaller sensor you just only use a small part of the light (essentially equal to using only a small part of the sensor, which is why some full frame cameras have a APSC crop option to generate smaller cropped images). A speedbooster essentially focusses the light to a smaller image circle to prevent most of the light being lost giving nearly an F stop more light and a wider field of view.

You can adapt most non digital lenses to mirror less, it doesn’t matter the system. It can be Panasonic, Olympus, Sony, whatever so long as it’s mirroless. Vintage glass is great. Most of the vintage 50mm glass out there has a lot of great benefits over that Sony you say is as good. Build quality and bokeh are much nicer in many cases.

I've been a Canon shooter all my life (until I got into KZfaq, that is) and have been using the Commlite EF to EF-M adapter for my M50, I recently got a used a6000 (my Sonys have all been ZV-1s) and have been wondering about using an EF to E adapter. A little disappointed to hear that the Sigma does not AF with Canon lenses though. The Commlite does allow AF with the EF to EF-M adapter. I'll have to look into that. But this video certainly does answer a lot of questions! I've got a ton of EF and FD lenses to play with.

@tombuck Жыл бұрын

It's really fun to mix and match all these. I've noticed Sigma EF Art lenses are occasionally coming down in price more than they used to, so that could be a great option. Of course, native E mount lenses are fantastic. All the ones I have have dead silent autofocus, which is just so cool.

Now I am looking into buying a digital camera and it's not easy to decide between all the camera brands.

You can get FD to native sony mount. Because the glass in the FD to EF adapter will slightly degrade the quality of the lens.

@tombuck Жыл бұрын

@TheNewArtSchool Жыл бұрын

@@tombuck Canon, when they went to the EF mount, they actually increased the distance from the lens to the film plane. The FD had a much shorter distance hence the need to use optics in the adapter. Now with mirrorless, that distance has been shortened once again, which accounts partly for the increase in image quality, so FD glass can be used in most mirrorless systems via an adapter that does not require an optical element, that degrades the quality of the original optic.

You must’ve made this video just for me! I appreciate you throwing some light on the “unholy union.” Like you, I switched from Canon to Sony, and I have not touched my Canon lenses because I don’t feel like selling them and keep my Canon gear as a back up system. But, I got a shoot lined up for the end of this month I need to use my 24-105 Canon macro zoom lens. The same one you have. I thought that meant I would have to go back to using my Canon camera, which is honestly a step backwards in image quality and speed of focus after loving the SonyA74 for almost a year now. And now I see this spectacular video offering me a simple way to use the Canon lenses I have loved for years. Thanks Tom Buck, camera god 📷 🏆😊

In theory it is impossible. Cause even the bigger mount of Nikon Z was on the edge to make it possible and good for Nikon users there is a good adaptor now. But Canon RF mount is not big enough to take in the whole Sony e-mount as it is needed for the infinity focus due to the shorter flange of the Canon mount.

@tombuck 9 сағат бұрын

Yes, if you have a Sigma lens (then autofocus will work almost as good as a native lens). Otherwise it doesn't seem like adapted lenses would be capable/reliable enough for sports. Tamron and Sigma do make some awesome E mount lenses that might be a great choice too. Also, I did try the 7Artisans adapter after some people recommended it in the comments here because it's supposed to enable autofocus on Canon lenses too, but it only focuses when the camera isn't recording and/or outputting HDMI. So avoid that one for sure.

From what I know, there isn't a way to adapt EF-M lenses to an EF mount (I could be wrong though, and there might be an adapter out there). If you could get an M lens on an EF adapter, then the EF adapter could go into this Sigma, but I don't know if that's just a pipe dream or not.

@@tombuck hi again...I did a bit more research...and the fine print is what matters...the MC-11 will work fine with Sigma lenses designed for Canon EF but NOT EF-S which is a Canon own design...so the MC-11 will allow me to use the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 and 50-100mm f1.8 (!!!) because those use the EF mount. Most of my lenses are Canon EF-S with the exception of my Canon 50mm f1.8 STM which has a red dot and has a EF mount-I will lose Autofocus but it will work manually....so...I may still get the MC-11...but which other adapter will allow me to use my Canon EF-S lens on the Sony E mount even if I can only access manual focus for video? One that you recommend? Of course the best option is to just buy Sony lenses...I like those sigma lenses because they are f1.8 even if they are massive!
